Field Performance of a Genetically Modified Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) Expressing the Cry1Ab Insecticidal Protein Against the Legume Pod Borer Maruca vitrata

Agronomy
Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) is a vital crop in sub-Saharan Africa, but the legume pod borer (LPB), Maruca vitrata, can cause over 80% yield losses.

First insights into the movement patterns of maned wolf with sarcoptic mange

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Understanding how infectious diseases influence wildlife behavior, particularly in habitats undergoing modification, is crucial for predicting disease outbreaks, assessing impacts on population fitness, and mitigating human health risks. Sarcoptic mange can alter wildlife movement and space use, yet its effects on threatened carnivores remain unclear ...

Wild Pigs (Sus scrofa) Stand Their Ground: Investigating Flight Response, or Lack Thereof, to Perceived Predation Risk 野猪坚守原地:探究其面对感知捕食风险时的逃逸反应 (或无逃逸行为)

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.
We used automated behavioral response systems (ABRs) to assess invasive wild pig (Sus scrofa) behavioral response to four auditory playbacks: humans, coyote vocalizations (Canis latrans), pigs in distress, and barred owl (Strix varia) calls. Wild pigs had a significant flight response to human playbacks, but 68% of pigs did not flee.

Characterization of a North Carolina Lower Coastal Plain Wet Pine Savanna.

, 2007
Savannas in the southeastern United States formerly occurred from East Texas to southern Virginia. Logging, conversion to agriculture, and fire suppression have reduced their area and extent, and there is an urgent need to catalogue and classify the ...

Banking Biodiversity: Ex Vivo Solutions for a Planet in Crisis

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.
Genetic diversity is being lost faster than it can be cataloged. Biobanking preserves cells, gametes, and DNA as recoverable material for future conservation use, and delivers most when collections are established proactively rather than deployed once populations are already critically depleted.

Measuring Zoo Rhino Personality: Investigating Methods of Assessment and Relationships to Behavior

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.
Rhino activity budgets, keeper ratings and responses to novelty showed only partial agreement, suggesting that each method measures different aspects of personality and should not be used interchangeably. Future research should focus on developing a multifaceted, validated personality assessment tool for use in zoo rhino management.

Integrating large mammalian herbivores into Dynamic Global Vegetation Models: Status and next steps

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Zoogeochemistry, the study of how animals influence elemental cycling within ecosystems, bridges the fields of zoology, ecology and biogeochemistry. Yet, most terrestrial ecosystem models, especially Dynamic Global Vegetation Models (DGVMs), remain largely plant‐centric

Goose herbivory alters soil microbial community functional potential in a sub‐Arctic wetland

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Herbivory alters below‐ground resource dynamics via direct and indirect mechanisms, yet its effects on microbial functional potential remain poorly understood. This limits our understanding of the mechanisms that link animal, plant and microbial functional roles in ...
